Back in August I was looking for an alternate source for a Para 15
taper.  My search recently led me to Dwight Lyons who happened to have
one in the shop.  He was gracious enough to send me the following taper
and description:

	Here are the tapers for the Para 15 with heavy tip 5/64" tip top

Perfection

	5 1/2"

	14 1/2"

	23 3/8"

	Tip sections from top of tip top.  Six bright chrome snakes.

	5 1/8"

	11 1/8"

	18 1/8"

	26 1/16"

	35 1/4" 

	44 1/4"

	The thread is a dark red and it has the spiral up on the ferrule
side.

	These tapers were taken over varnish, so I would allow at least
.008.

	The cork grip is a fairly narrow reverse cigar that tapers from
the reel seat
	up towards the front with a thuimb depression on top.  This cork
grip is 6
1/8" long.
